Dirt, feeding, animal. Lazy 5 Ranch!

Wow, did we have a blast with the family at Lazy 5 Ranch. This place is amazing. We were out for over an hour driving the whole place. With the windows down and the hatch open, we hit the trail. Along the way we saw all ways of life. Afterwards, we noticed the dust everywhere. So we headed over to get the truck washed, inside and out!

What a fun time!!!


Austin: Lazy 5 Ranch was the awesomeness things I've done.

Jenni: It was fun!

SRES Character Presentation

What a great start to the day! I took Jenni and Sariah to the character presentation that was being put on by Austin's 3rd grade class. It was a wax museum theme. This was a fabulous event. The kids all had different characters throughout history that they did a presentations on, with a display! Austin chose Walt Whitman. Hmmm. I picked Edgar Allen Poe when I was a kid. Maybe Austin will be the writer! The kids would stand still with their hand out waiting to be pushed like a button. Once pushed, they would recite a script they had on their character. Once they were done, the went back to the ready position. It was awesome. We must have pushed Austin's button 10 times! He was a great sport! All the kids did a great job. I was really impressed with this event. Good show Teach!!!

Enjoy the pic's!!!

Can you name them all?

SRES Africa Parade

The 3rd grade had a Africa Parade. Austin's class represented Kenya. It was fun to see, but a little off beat as well. The kids did a great job, but the orginization was a little off. For example, there was about a 10 minute computer show that showed the recordings of the kids doing weather reports for Africa in Spanish. What?!? It made me wonder if the common language in Africa was Spanish. I knew from my school days that wasn't the case. Ok, so the teachers tried to sneak in some extra curriculam, I guess. Overall, it was good to see my son, but I wish it had been a bit more personal, student driven. The kids did do a song a first, as a group. That was fun to hear and see!

Riverbank Zoo Scout Sleepover!

Oh boy, what a night! We spent the evening walking around, looking behind the scenes of some exhibits. We visited the elephants, aquarium, hyena's, lion's den, owl barn, and a few more - all at night! It was eerie walking through the jungle night life. Our instructors were really good too. They took their time to explain what each area was and answered all the questions the group had, no matter how silly. One kid asked, "if a hyena dies of syphilis, would the other hyena's eat him?". Ok, weird question. Lights out was at 11 pm. I'm not sure I slept that much. Everyone was great, getting ready, no horse playing, etc. But, I didn't catch a really good sleep. I know I was tired enough from all that walking, that's for sure. :) I had to use the restroom at like 4. Ugh! So, using my crackberry as a flash light, I made the careful walk out of the auditorium, across people strewn about as they slept. We were a little cramped for space to say the least. Oh, and the snorers were ALL there. I can't wait to hear what Jenni might say about that.

Oh yea, I need to get back to the bed. I tried to trek back to our bivouac, surgically, so I don't impel someone sleeping with my 250lbs foot. :) For the last 5 feet I had to strech my long legs over the 3 rows of chairs, as both paths to our camp was blocked by campers. Lights on was at 8. It was bright. We all got up for snacks. Well, us adults swarmed the only coffee pot. It was on and ready. Really the pick up we needed.

We were not sure if we were staying that long the next morning. The neighbor and us carpooled. They need to be back by 2 and my body was way good with that! :) Plus, we talked about breakfast at Cracker Barrel, family favorite! Therefore, we'd mostly like be out of there by 10. So I told my wife "Please don't make the trip down here, as it won't be long. Wake Sariah up and go play instead!!!" :) And they did!

We spent a few hours at the zoo and then headed out. I think it was like 11 before we left. We plotted a course for Cracker Barrel and off we went. Wow, what a full day!

After we made it through the jungle to the house. We headed to the park! Family first!
